Trip to the ER

The doggie ER, that is. Bigsby dealt us his first trip to the ER tonight, and of course it just HAD to happen on the one night Casey has been out of town for work in nearly two months. I had let Bigsby out to run around because he was driving me nuts while I was cooking. When I let him back in he came in and sat down on the landing and I realized he was chewing on something....it was GLASS!!! One of my tealight holders had broken out by the fence and he got ahold of part of the broken glass. So, after some phone calls and internet searches, we went to the Animal Emergency Clinic to have him x-rayed just in case he swallowed some. No glass that we could find (after they made him vomit....ewww) but he did have part of a pair of underwear and the fabric straps to a sports bra that he had destroyed last Saturday STILL in his tummy. He also had some rocks in there. So, needless to say the vet bill was more than the cost of the dog, but Bigsby is just fine. From now on I guess we will keep a more watchful eye on him!!!

LOL! I can't believe they found all that. I'm sure glad he's ok now. Maybe pet insurance would be worth it for him :)
